k Conservation Commission August 23, 1990 Page 14. I have no idea why. IR. GLASS; of course you don't and that's why we're here tonight to try to inform you, We took a eery, very strong stand on indian rights, so much so that one of the Selectmen spits on us, continuously, and that's why you have an anonymous complaint. COFFEY: Mr. Glass, if l can suggest an alternate reason or scenario for the complaint being brought against you, it may be just perhaps that you are the most recent person to bring a dump truck up to the pond and spread eight tons of sand, six yards of sand in a highly visible area. I do not deny there are outstanding violations throughout town, however, yours caught someone's eye and ideally, the enforcement of theWet- lands Protection law is being brought up to a point where all possible violations will be vigorously investigated, pursued, and appropriately prosecuted. I'm sorry you have felt singled out in this process; I'm very disappointed with your conduct during this hearing. . .(MRS GLASS: Well, weire very disappointed with your conduct, too, it's reciprocal. one leaning, one shaking her head.) you don't seem to understand the conduct of a public hearing: . .(MM. CSS: You telling us we must say what you want to hear, that is not good conduct, it is not a good reflection n you as a chair.) Please, that's enough, you are prejudicing your case. IR. GLASS: She can't be prejudicing her ease, you are going to rule on the facts, not on her conduct. I certainly hope so. C FFEY: It was my hope this entire evening would be spent addressing the facts and ideally, public education. .(IRS. GLASS: That's what you want; that isn't the facts You want what you want. It's your behavior that incited mine. ) I don't think you know me well enough, ma'am, to know what I want. (You didnIt want to know us t all. I would like to keep this a little more impersonal and a little quieter procedurely, (It is very personal, I'm not ashamed. We're taping this, you're taping this. yrs is a reaction to your action. Every action has a reaction. MR. NORTON: Two weeps ago you had said a truck got stuck there on the site, which aspect kind of triggered it, was it getting stuck or was it the beach? SI ONS: I can`t say. NRS. LASS: What is this Tom, I don't even know? SIMM QTS: The true that delivered the sand got caught on the road and slipped into the bog and I am sure that is what caused attention to the whole process. MR. GLASS: 'That's not it, Ws' the fact the true went over Peter angler's. . . Peter Langler is blocking what is called, I'll show you on the map, what is called right of way, with a trailer and Tom asked hien to remove the trailer so he could have access, as legally provided by New Seabury. Peter La filer got very upset with that and that's why the complaint. SIMMONS: Maybe Peter realized that the sand should not have been put down* 1R. GLASS: That's bullshit. SIMMONS: I beg your pardon, sir, please. MRS. GLASS: Peter Langler is blocking the ancient way, which is the only fire access to the bog if there were a fire.
